Sitting..........did i spell that properly? on the lavatory,reading my hifi mags, which 'er indoors thinks is not the done thing, and was just recalling the ratio of weekly wage to my first proper system.
At that time, i was in my teens btw, and earned the princely sum of £7 per week !now,my system comprised a Thorens td 150, goldring g800 cart, Leak stereo 30 plus, and a pair of Wharfedale super lintons totalling about £160, meaning my systems value was 23 times what i earned weekly.
Now without revealing what i earn now,the comparative "value" of my current set up is much less in terms of wage to kit ratio, and to emulate that ratio, would be up in the tens of thousands of pounds.
Useless gabble i know, but i wonder what sort of wage/kit value ratio other members are on? For example, if i earned £500 a week, my kit now should be kicking in at £11,500, which on the stereo side only, its nowhere near.
Did i think more of hifi back then to warrant that ratio?..............
